In the past, Vec::clone_from was implemented using slice::clone_into.
The code from clone_into was later duplicated into clone_from in
8725e4c337, which is the commit that adds custom allocator support to
Vec. Presumably this was done because the slice::clone_into only works
for vecs with the default allocator so it would have the wrong type to
clone into Vec<T, A>.
Now that the clone_into implementation is moved out into a specializable
trait anyway we might as well use that to share the code between the two
methods.
